Chapter 199: Running Thunder Beast
With 110 bronze dragons, a table lamp, and a portable lamp, Tom happily walked out of the store with two small spiritual artifacts in his hand.
It's a bit more than the budget for buying a spiritual wind lamp, but he thinks it's better to get something.
Riding the bicycle and returning home, my wife was cooking dinner, and when she saw that Tom was not holding a spiritual wind lantern, she couldn't help but ask.
"Why didn't you buy a spiritual wind lantern?"
"Didn't buy it." Tom walked into the kitchen happily, "What do you do at night, it's so fragrant?" ”
"I stewed a little bit of pork ribs to make up for my daughter and son, and you will eat a piece when the time comes, I haven't eaten pork ribs for a long time."
"Wow, that's great!" Tom's greedy saliva was dripping.
"You haven't said it yet, why didn't you buy a spiritual wind lamp, didn't you say that you don't have a spiritual wind lantern when you walk at night, and you don't feel safe in your heart?"
"I didn't buy the Spiritual Wind Lamp, but I bought other lamps, which are better than the Spiritual Wind Lamp, and they are more energy-efficient!"
Tom took out the portable lamp and table lamp and demonstrated them to his wife, and soon got his wife's approval.
Compared with the old-fashioned Lingfeng lamp, the convenience of the new lamps such as portable lamps and table lamps is clear at a glance.
When his daughter came home from school and the family had dinner, Tom immediately took out the lamp and put it on his daughter's desk.
Plug in the spirit card, and the lamp blooms brightly.
The entire desk is brightly lit.
"Dad, the lamp is amazing!" The daughter was full of praise.
Seeing his daughter's happy appearance, Tom felt full of energy: "Okay, you study hard at home, look at your brother, I'll send your mother to work." ”
A bicycle, carrying the husband and wife, quickly walked to the section of the road where there were no street lights.
The wife hugged Tom's waist and held a portable lamp to light the way ahead for Tom, and the feeling of light made the two of them feel safe in their hearts.
"That's nice." The wife said softly, "Now that you are on the way back alone, I don't worry about you anymore, I was afraid that you would ride into the ditch or be robbed by someone." ”
"I have nothing to rob, my pockets are cleaner than my face." Tom laughed, "But with the portable light, I am indeed bold, and I dare to ride faster." ”
"I don't know which polymath invented the portable lamp."
"It must be a knowledgeable and knowledgeable Master Ta'ao who knows the sufferings of the people, and only the Erudite Tower is the most oriented to us ordinary people."
……
Lamps and lanterns are selling well.
The factory building of the Giant Spirit Artifact Company of Light rotates 24 hours a day in three shifts, and it is still in short supply, and the cooing of the postman's owl is non-stop.
All of them are letters from which orders are sent.
"Tell the orderer, pay the full amount in advance, you can give priority to queuing up to order lamps, and all those who only pay the deposit will go to the back row!" Vial kept signing and stamping the supply order, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, but he couldn't do it excitedly.
He thought that the business of the Giant of Light would be hot, but he didn't expect it to be so popular, and in just over a month, it ignited the enthusiasm of the people in the city.
"Coritia, contact the construction team as soon as possible, we want to expand the plant area and put on two more assembly lines!"
"General manager, wouldn't it be too aggressive?" As the deputy general manager, Coritia, who worked at Youshi Garment Company before, has never experienced such a hot sales situation, "Once the enthusiasm of consumers returns, I am afraid that the product will be backlogged." ”
"No, no, there are still many regions waiting for us to open up and expand, and we must expand as soon as possible, which is also what the chairman meant."
Hearing that this was what Duke meant, Coritia did not hesitate: "Okay, I'll do it immediately." ”
Contact the construction team, go through the construction procedures, and driven by the tide of orders, the factory of the giant of light is further expanded.
Recruitment is also non-stop.
The assembly lines of factories need workers, the sales teams that travel far and wide need manpower, and even the company buildings need to recruit a large number of clerks.
"A company on the rise." In the top-floor office of the Polymath Tower, after reading the sales data of the Giant of Light, Erwin was amazed.
"Grandpa, this is just a change in the appearance of the spirit wind lamp, how can it become hot?" The secretary was a little confused.
"This is not a simple change in appearance, this is a great progress in naturalism, no less than the invention of the spiritual wind lamp and the spiritual wall lamp, it is enough to change people's living habits." Erwin praised that the spirit wind lamp resembles a lantern, and the spirit wall lamp is similar to an electric lamp.
"However, it's not new at all, it's like a headlight that can move at will."
"Your brain, sometimes I really wonder if you are my blood...... The principle of a portable light is not much different from a car light, but who would have thought of changing the car light and holding it in their hands. Naturalism is often the blossoming of an idea. ”
"Okay, Grandpa, but do you really want to honor the Giant of Light and Lord Duke?" There was still some disapproval in the secretary's tone.
Erwin shook his head, a little disappointed in his own bloodline.
This is already the best fourth generation of the family, and he will be selected to take it with him, but unfortunately he has not been favored by the spirit, his brain is average, and his vision is even narrower.
But after all, it is his own species, and Erwin can't be more demanding, so he just said indifferently: "The purpose of the Erudite Tower is to benefit the bottom of society and promote the development of the entire federation from the bottom. ”
Erwin's decision, as the secretary, Esko naturally did not dare to overturn: "Then I will draft a commendation plan and submit it to the executive meeting of the Erudite Tower for discussion." ”
"Well, let's draft it." Erwin was less interested.
There were some unrealistic fantasies in my heart: "It would be nice if this Duke was my great-grandson, the Nutao family has a Kiria, and Keystone's old face almost burst with laughter." If I had a great-grandson like Duke, I would laugh more than Kitstone! ”
Pity.
Duke is not his great-grandson, his great-grandson is the brain-like Esko in front of him, and he is indeed calm, but he only has the advantage of being calm.
Raised to the age of twenty-two, he is still a four-star spiritual apprentice.
There is no sign of promotion to five stars at all.
"Is it so difficult to understand the spiritual arcane, I had no one to teach at the beginning, and just by taking a public class, I can be promoted to an arcane master at the age of twenty!" Erwin thought indignantly, "Esco follows me every day, explaining spiritual arcane laws to him every day, why can't he be promoted?" ”
Meanwhile.
Duke, who was nagged and compared by Erwin, was not immersed in the joy of the Giant of Light's hot sales and his own skyrocketing value.
Flashlights are something that is destined to be popular, and it is natural that sales are booming.
What he wants to care about is whether the patent of the portable lamp will be infringed by other spiritual weapon manufacturers, and then make the portable lamp privately.
At present, Runwanjia Spirit Weapon Factory is the target of his focus.
"Duke, shouldn't you be treated, now you're among the big bosses." Oriana coaxed, "We can only earn some hard-earned affiliation fees, you big boss, don't you invite us to have a good meal, like that?" ”
"No problem, Shenjiao City Hotel, I'll be the east tonight, there is no limit to wine and delicacies, you can eat as much as you want!"
In fact, Duke has yet to receive a single Bronze Dragon dividend from the Giant of Light.
However, he recently cooperated with Zina, and almost repaired all the broken Arcane cards of the mercenary group that opened up the front line of the war in Cuihai Valley, so he made a lot of money, and there were more than a thousand golden dragons on the spirit dragon card.
I have money in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart.
"This is the arrogance of the big boss, you must eat more than 100 golden dragons tonight!" Oriana announced loudly.
That night, everyone gathered at the Shenjiao City Hotel.
Tutor Penrose didn't go, and he seldom got involved in the students' interactions, but Duke hired another arcane mage.
Sanfez.
"The big boss can still remember me, moved, I must eat more tonight." As soon as Sanfes met, he gave Duke a big hug.
"How about studying at Scott's Tower?" Duke asked.
After leaving Penrose's Mage Tower, Sanfiz applied for several Mage Towers and eventually entered Scott's Mage Tower.
"Well, it's definitely easier than in Penrose Mage Tower, but it's a bit unaccustomed to suddenly changing to the realm of life...... Mentor Scott Winged Tiger, though milder than Mentor Penrose, ...... Well, workaholics. ”
Scott Yihu, Master of the 3rd Ring Ao, Life Scholar, Chairman of Shenjiao City Hospital.
His uncle is the 4-Ring Arcane Mage, the chief director of the Elemental Tower, and Viscount Stephen Winged Tiger. The two can be called a double master.
However, Stephen Winged Tiger likes war the most, and after serving as the chief director of the Elemental Tower, he is indispensable to participate in any pioneering war. Scott Yihu, on the other hand, is different from Uncle in that he has compassion for others and is committed to improving medical care.
It is important to know that the vast majority of people who need medical treatment are ordinary people who have never opened the Three Seas and have no money to pay for high medical expenses.
For ordinary minor illnesses and minor traumas, a treatment card can basically be solved.
The treatment of diseases that cannot be cured is basically incurable diseases, as well as some special physiological diseases, which is extremely difficult.
So in the field of medicine, you can't make money at all.
"I followed Mentor Scottrade, and I came into contact with a lot of patients, the terminally ill kind, and my heart was heavy, but I was very motivated." Shanfiz sighed, "Maybe I should have devoted myself to this field a long time ago and ended the suffering for ordinary people." ”
"It's gratifying that you can find your own value." Duke praised.
Shanfeisi laughed: "Do you always talk so old-fashioned, you don't know and think I'm your son!" ”
"I won't give birth to an ugly son like you."
"Fuck off!"
With the addition of Shanfeis, the meal was lively, and everyone knew that Duke was making a lot of money now, so there was no shortage of delicacies, and one meal was enough to eat 270 gold dragons.
Duke didn't care, and happily swiped the card.
And he is also the consultant of Shenjiao City Hotel, he eats and stays for free, and he can also get a 20% discount when he invites to eat, saving a small sum of money.
Wait until the next day to work.
At noon, Penrose returned from the Union Tower and immediately summoned all the arcane mages in the mage tower.
"There is a new action, after many meetings and discussions with the Bernoulli Mage Tower, the Cuihai Valley Evil Qi Removal Operation has been officially introduced. Paid to help Bernoulli Mage Tower clean up the evil qi in the Green Sea Valley. ”
Bernoulli Mage Tower paid for it, and the arcane mages of Shenjiao City gathered and went to the Cuihai Valley to destroy the evil energy, as well as the evil plants and evil creatures infected by the evil energy.
"Mentor, where is the black jade horseshoe crab dragon?"
"We clean up the evil qi, the black jade horseshoe crab dragon will definitely be happy to see it, it will restrain the black jade scorpion clan." Penrose replied.
"Haven't you contacted the arcane master and come to hunt the black jade horseshoe crab?" Leadman asked, frowning.
"Bernoulli has been in contact everywhere, but the interests involved in inviting an arcane mentor to participate in the pioneering war are too great, and so far, no arcane mentor has explicitly agreed to Bernoulli's request."
After a pause, Penrose continued, "In my opinion, Bernoulli probably doesn't want to invite the Arcane Mentor to the war. ”
"Without the Arcane Mentor in the battle, who can kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon?"
"Who knows, in short, this time everyone can really take it as a trip and go to the Cuihai Valley Forest for a walk, there will never be any danger."
As the ruling class of the Seven Towers Federation, when encountering difficulties that cannot be solved, it naturally needs to be solved by the arcane mage. After receiving the assurance that the black jade horseshoe crab dragon would not come out to provoke, many airships flew from the mage tower and flew towards the Cuihai Valley.
On the Loop, Duke looked at the scenery on the ground, forgetting that this was the first time he had gone out on a mission in an airship.
"I thought that after being promoted to an arcane mage, I would be able to lie down easily, but I didn't expect that after being an arcane mage, I would still have to work hard."
I whined out boring for a while.
The airship also slowly drove past the town of Snakehead, without stopping, and flew towards the safe passage ahead, and finally landed in a wide area.
This is the agreed place, and you can see that there are many mercenary camps densely packed around, all waiting for the arrival of the mage.
Long before the departure of the Arcane Mage, the mercenary mission center in Snakehead Town had already issued a clearance mission.
Without the cooperation of a large number of mercenaries, it would definitely be difficult for the arcane mages to release the arcane arts, and it would definitely be difficult to clean up all the changes caused by the evil qi.
"Our number is Area 354, Vivian, inform all the mercenary leaders who have taken on the assignment of Area 354 to come and meet me." Duke disembarks from the airship and gives Vivien a map, which is the map of the mission area.
The Union Tower had already drawn up a map of the vicinity of the Green Sea Valley and numbered it on the map to facilitate the mission.
Ordinary people have already done all the preliminary work, and the rest of the battle can only be carried out by the arcane mage.
A moment later, seven or eight regiment commanders rushed over, including Xena, who had broken her sword.
Duke glanced at several regiment commanders in a circle, wrote down the appearance of several of them, and said indifferently: "In this mission, follow the command of Regiment Commander Zina, and wipe out all things related to the evil aura in Area 354 on the map." ”
Seeing that the regiment commanders listened carefully, and no one put on a posture of hanging or disobeying his orders, Duke continued: "When you encounter the resistance of the 2-ring spirit beast, my escort knight team will assist you in killing, and when you encounter a 3-ring and above spirit beast, I will take action!" ”
Then he asked aloud, "Do you understand everything?" ”
"Understood, sir!" The leaders responded quickly, without showing any disdain just because Duke was only a 1-ring mage.
"Then, action!"
With Duke's order, Commander Zina led the team and led all the mercenaries to Area 354 on the map.
After arriving at the designated location, without Duke having to worry about anything, Zina arranged the mercenary groups, each mercenary group searched for a direction, with 500 meters of the width of their respective cleaning area, and advanced next to each other.
Duke followed in the center, riding his own spirit horse, unhurriedly behind the mercenary groups.
"Tsk!"
Little Pocket is like a happy one, jumping around in the forest.
Duke doesn't care about it and does more activities in the wild, which is conducive to the growth of Xiaodou. And Xiaodou is very smart, he doesn't go too far, and he is alert enough to avoid danger.
He just asked Xiaoyi to hang up the "Rain Falling Breathing Method", and monitored the surrounding environment through the Douqi holographic screen.
Occasionally, they will join the battle, using the hand of a mage to pinch and blast a few spirit beasts, increasing their proficiency and speeding up the progress of the mission.
Wait until evening and set up camp.
The team cleared an open space and grouped their tents together to make sure the camp was safe enough.
As it gets dark, bonfires are lit, and Duke notices that there are many mercenaries who have already bought lamps or headlamps.
There are also that kind of particularly bright searchlights, and basically every mercenary group, a few of them have been bought.
The mercenaries standing guard climbed to the nearby trees and kept irradiating the surroundings, looking for any spirit beasts to sneak closer to the camp.
"My lord, the portable lamp you invented is really useful, especially this searchlight, with it, it is safer to camp at night." Xena came over to Duke for dinner, "It's just that it costs too much to save the spirit card, and the 1-ring spirit storage card can't last too long." ”
"Originally, it was designed to use a 2-ring spirit storage card."
"The 2-ring spirit card is more distressing to use, and everyone still likes to use the 1-ring spirit card to deal with it, and then use it when there is a situation, and use a portable lamp when there is no situation."
After chatting, they talked about the evil plants, and Zina asked: "My lord, the time is too short, there are not many blowing snow pillars and fanged lichens that we have hoarded with broken swords, and this is suddenly going to be cleaned up, can we still hoard them?" ”
"You can continue to hoard, but there are some changes, and in the future, a special evil qi area will be planned around the No. 3 well area to produce these evil plants."
"Is there a special area planned, I'm afraid it won't be very big, and the competition inside will be fierce."
"It doesn't matter, I can make a fortune, I'm not short of money. Your job is to look for the spiritual materials I need for me, and that's the point. ”
"Yes, sir." Xena replied.
The Giant of Light made a lot of money, and Duke no longer took this little profit in his eyes, and told Xena to arrange this mission, and he went to bed early.
The mission also went smoothly, and he didn't encounter a 3-ring spirit beast for three days in a row.
However, on the fourth day, the team had advanced to the mountain range that divided Cuihai Valley and Snake Head Town, and in the boundless primeval forest, a powerful spirit beast was finally alarmed by the team.
"It's a 4-ring spirit beast - a running thunder beast!" Seeing this spirit beast that began to roar, Zina quickly ran to Duke's side, "My lord, the strength of this spirit beast is too strong, why don't you retreat first and ask for help from other clearing teams?" ”
"4 rings, running thunder beasts are not good at defense, right?" Duke touched the middle of his left hand.
It was covered with a golem ring, and the six-legged spirit puppet jar with six solidified 3-ring arcane arts was carried on the back of a spirit horse.
Zina didn't know why: "The Running Thunder Beast is theoretically strong in attack and weak in defense, but after all, it is 4 rings, and its size is huge, so an idle attack can't cause much damage to it." ”
"Kill first, let's talk about it, don't retreat immediately and ask for help!" Duke decided, "Xena, you're up front!" ”
Xena sighed inwardly, but still carried out Duke's orders seriously.
Duke quickly climbed onto the branch of a large tree, took out his companion weapon, a ring of sand eagles, and silently aimed at the running thunderbeast in the distance.
"If it was before, I would have taken a detour when I heard the 4th ring, but now I ......"
In the scope of the sand eagle, you can clearly see the figure of the running thunder beast, which is a huge giant beast shaped like a tiger.
Between the roars, tiny lightning bolts could be seen swimming around its body.
Under the command of Zina, the mercenary group has quickly formed a knight formation, but it can be seen that the mercenaries have no desire to fight, and they are completely in order to form a formation to protect themselves, and they will leave in time when things are no longer possible.
Duke didn't care, he just wanted the mercenaries to resist the attack of a wave of rushing thunderbeasts first, so that he could have enough time to hunt.
Toggle...... Armor-piercing shells! ”
With Duke's command, the Sand Eagle pistol in his hand seemed to be deformed inside, making a continuous clicking sound.
When the sound stopped, Duke felt that the magazine of thirty rounds had become twelve.
However, each bullet is much larger and longer than the previous normal bullets, and is folded and stored in a magazine in a way that violates the physical structure.
"So."
Duke took a deep breath: "Hunting time!" ”
The trigger was pulled, the bullet came out of the chamber, and the huge recoil made Duke's vindictive-blessed arm almost unable to hold it.
Flames burst at the muzzle.
The armor-piercing projectile pierced through the flames, and the butt that wrapped the warhead disintegrated immediately after discharge. The tail inside stabilized the warhead, thin and long, like a needle. But it has an extraordinary speed, creating a ripple in the air.
There is no sonic boom, long before the disembowel, the sonic boom is created and absorbed by the silencer.
Like a huge tiger, the running thunder beast was about to make a big splash in the face of the mercenaries who dared to provoke him, and the tiny lightning on his body had grown rapidly, making it like a god entangled in thunder and lightning.
But at this time.
The Running Thunderbeast shuddered, and it felt a breath of death envelop itself, but it didn't know where it came from.
Then, before it could figure it out, it felt something suddenly seem to be abnormal in its right eye, and then the pain penetrated deep into the cerebral cord.
It was mad in pain, writhing wildly, and the lightning was running wildly.
Nearby trees were struck by lightning and immediately burned into piles of charcoal.
But the breath of death did not dissipate, but became more and more intense, and the Running Thunder Beast felt that his brain had been confused, and there was only one thought left to escape.
It hadn't escaped for a long time since it had grown into a 4-ringed spirit beast.
However, before the running thunderbeast turned around, the only remaining left eye was in pain, and both eyes in a row were blasted open by armor-piercing bullets, and he became completely blind.
And the armor-piercing bullet has been shot into the brain of the Running Thunderbeast from the eye socket, causing the Running Thunderbeast to lose part of its brain function and spread directly on the ground, leaving only impotent rage. and lightning-like arcane that can be activated without a brain.
Zila, pop......
At this moment, the running thunder beast is like ball lightning, and it is indiscriminately releasing lightning without a clue.
On the branches of the big tree in the distance, Duke had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and fired two armor-piercing bullets in succession, dealing a fatal blow to the Running Thunderbeast.
All that's left is to grind it to death slowly.
"Fortunately, before the mission, Xiaoyi successfully improved the Sand Eagle 1.51 bullet special effect - physical version, which can load more powerful armor-piercing bullets!"
In addition to armor-piercing shells, Duke can also choose between empty and shotgun rounds.
However, the most powerful single point strike is naturally the armor-piercing bullet, which is also the confidence for him to dare to challenge the 4-ring spirit beast.
"Die!" Duke continued to pull the trigger.
The armor-piercing bullets shot like crazy money, and the lightning released by the arcane couldn't stop it at all, and they were nailed to the rampaging thunderbeast one by one.
The death sentence of this four-ringed spirit beast was announced.
The mercenaries who confronted the Running Thunder Beast had been stunned by the sudden turn of events, and they didn't know what was going on, so they saw the Running Thunder Beast's eyes burst open one after another, and then the Running Thunder Beast lay on the ground, roaring and releasing lightning.
"It's Lord Duke who has made a move, everyone, block the lightning attack!" Xena shouted.
There was no need to command, the 1st ring knights in the front row raised their shields one after another, and their fighting spirit resonated, forming a huge wall of fighting spirit.
Thundered!
Thunder and lightning struck the wall of fighting energy, rippling and trembling in circles and circles.
But without the guidance of the Running Thunder Beast, these headless flies-like lightning could not concentrate on breaking through the wall of fighting energy.
The Wall of Fighting Spirit successfully divides the battlefield.
Ensure that the mercenaries can cooperate with Duke unscrupulously outside the wall, bombarding the Thunder Beast with various fighting martial arts.
One by one, the armor-piercing bullets slashed through the air, inflicting heavy damage on the Running Thunderbeast.
In less than two minutes, the thunder and lightning on the Running Thunder Beast had dimmed, leaving only tiny lightning bolts, which were still swimming on its body from time to time.
Duke used his index finger as the axis to spin the Sand Eagle pistol, then jumped off the tree and walked briskly towards the Running Thunderbeast.
The mercenaries quickly made way for a way.
Although it was unknown what kind of arcane Duke had cast, it was clear to everyone that if it weren't for Duke's action, the Thunderbeast would be enough to defeat all the mercenaries.
Whether it is a 1-ring knight, a 0-ring knight, or a pseudo-1-ring card warrior, they can't stop the lightning attack of the Thunder Beast.
Only the arcane mage is the unstoppable king of this world.
"Go check the life and death of the Running Thunderbeast." Stopping ten meters in front of the Running Thunder Beast, Duke stopped indifferently.
"Yes, sir!" Several mercenaries, who were not afraid of death, cautiously approached the corpse of the Running Thunder Beast, and then poked the Running Thunder Beast with their weapons.
The Running Thunderbeast didn't react, and was already dead.
